Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling station in a machine for labeling objects, especially bottles, having at least one gluing segment which is mounted on a driven, revolving carrier, whose axis of rotation is situated between the center of curvature of its especially cylindrically curved pickup surface and the said pickup surface, and whose rotational speed is accelerated and retarded for the purpose of rolling its pickup surface on the surface of a rotating gripper cylinder.
  • the carrier and gripper cylinder rotate in opposite directions, while their circumferential speeds are approximately equal.
  • the radius of curvature of the pickup surface of each glue segment is equal to the radius of the circle defined by the individual stations of the labeling machine, such as the label stack, the gripper cylinder, and the gluing roller.
  • the gluing segment which is controlledly swung back and forth is halted in the middle position upon passing the gripper cylinder, in which its pickup surface coincides with the circumference of the glue segment carrier.
  • a disadvantage of this labeling station is that the division of the gluing segment carrier must coincide with that of the labeling cylinder (German Offenlegungsschrift No. 1,486,135).
  • the invention is, however, addressed to the problem of creating a labeling station which, while having the same output capacity as the known labeling station with oscillating gluing segments, will have fewer gluing segments, and in which the fitting of the carrier with gluing segments will be variable.
  • This additional improvement of the invention sets out from the idea that, in the rolling process, only the rotational sense relationships of the gripper cylinder, gluing segment carrier and gluing segment or segments are important, while the gluing segments can perform any desired movements before and after the rolling movement. It is only important that the gluing segment or segments be brought into their starting position at the beginning of the new rolling action.
  • the labeling station of the invention does not have the same high output capacity as that of the principal patent.
  • the advantage of the present labeling station is that a substantially more simply designed, cam-controlled drive can be used for driving the gluing segments. If high outputs are not especially important, but it is desired to get by with a low number of gluing segments, preference will be given to the system of the invention using the oscillated gluing segments.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of a labeling station having three gluing segments.
  • FIG. 2 represents the labeling station of FIG. 1 in the same manner, additionally showing a drive for one gluing segment.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic top plan view of a labeling station having two gluing segments
  • FIG. 4 is an axial cross-sectional view of a gluing segment with its drive.
  • the labeling station consists of a gluing segment carrier 1 rotating in the direction of the arrow P1, and stations disposed successively along its periphery, namely a glue roller 2 rotating in the direction of the arrow P2, a stationary label box 3 and a gripper cylinder 4 rotating in the direction of the arrow P3.
  • the gluing segment carrier is coupled with the gripper cylinder 4 through a gear drive. If the gripper cylinder 4 is quadripartite and the gluing segment carrier 1 is provided with three gluing segments 5 (FIG. 1), the gearing ratio will amount to 3:4, while in the case of a quadripartite gripper cylinder 4 and a gluing segment carrier 1 provided with two gluing segments 5 it will be 1:2.
  • the gluing segments are uniformly distributed about the gluing segment carrier and at a distance from the axis of rotation thereof.
  • Each gluing segment 5 has a cylindrically curved pickup surface 7 whose radius of curvature is smaller than the distance between the axis of the gluing segment carrier 1 and the periphery of the gripper cylinder 4.
  • the gluing segment 5 is pivotingly mounted on the gluing segment carrier 1 at a point between its pickup surface 7 and the center of its curvature, in a symmetrical relationship to its pickup surface 7.
  • a cam operated toothed segment 8, whose teeth mesh with the teeth of a pinion 10 mounted on a shaft 9 of the gluing segment 5 serves as the driving means.
  • the toothed segment 8 is swung back and forth by a cam follower 12 engaged by a stationary cam groove 11. Since such a drive is provided for each gluing segment 5, the gluing segment is swung back and forth in the direction of the arrow P4 such that it rolls its pickup surface not only against the glue roller 2 but also against the label stack 3 and against the gripper cylinder 4. For this purpose it is swung out of the circle defined by the individual stations 2, 3 and 4.
  • the gluing segment before passing the individual stations 2, 3 and 4, is swung so that its edge that is trailing with respect to the arrow P1 will move outside of the circle defined by the individual stations 2, 3 and 4, and by the swing against the sense of rotation indicated by the arrow P1, a rotatory movement will be superimposed on the rotatory movement of the gluing segment carrier 1 in the direction of the arrow P1; this superimposed rotatory movement will result in an overcompensation and thus allow the pickup surface of the gluing segment 5 to roll against the individual stations 2, 3 and 4.
  • the swinging movement is reversed, so that the gluing segment is carried to the next station in the starting position for the next rolling action.
  • Each gluing segment 5 touches, with its trailing edge in the direction of rotation of the arrow P1, first the respective station 2, 3, 4 and, in order to conduct the rolling process it is moved past the respective station 2, 3, 4 long enough in a direction counter to arrow P1 and leaves the station 2, 3 or 4. Then the gluing segment 5, on the way to the next station, is accelerated as a result of moving in the direction of arrow P1 in such a manner that the trailing edge of the gluing segment again swings outside the circle corresponding to carrier 1, whereby the gluing segment 5 is moved into the starting position for the next station.
  • This movement is clearly illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 with the segments shown in dash-and-dot lines between the individual stations.
  • the movement arrows show the direction of rotation for each segment illustration. In the cases in which arrows P1 and P4 point in the same direction, an acceleration is obtained, and where they point in opposite directions, the segment experiences a retardation of rotational speed.
